·

How can I check the users who have done a particular action multiple times in a single day ? Its bit tricky to put that condition of 'multiple times' within a 'single day' . can you help ?

    Have you tried this:

    if you take out the breakdown, you can see all users on a particular date who rated >1x on any given day

    And if you change it to bars, you can do stacked breakdowns to see more groupings of the users, like

    and maybe, if you are going to look at bars, you need to stack filters up top.

    so frequency of rated products > 1 AND distinct count of days = 1. So that would be users who rated > 1x on a single day.

    Andrew S. I always appreciate you detailed elaboration on the solutions. I have a small follow up question. Im trying to get this 'time' attribute for the aggregate property per user metric and im unable to get it from my data.

    My metrics looks like this , similar to yours. when I go through 'select event' under aggregate Property per user ,

    In your lexicon, do you see, under Event Properties, $time?

    Time is an Event Property, not an event itself. So you select your event (like in my case it is Rate a Product) and then aggregate the property or breakdown on the property, being the Time property on the event.

    Ok, great. So I think the issue in your image is that you are selecting an event and not an event property

    I think in your image you need to select your same event (principal action vs) and then select the Time property on that event. in my example, I did the Rate a Product event and then selected the Time property on the event.

    I think the issue happens after I select an event (principal actions). When I try to pick the same event for 'frequency per user' and then choose 'Time' as the event property under 'Aggregate Property per User,' the pop-up only lets me select an event name, not an event property. I've attached a screenshot. How did you manage to select an event property there? It doesn’t seem to be an option for me.

    reselect the principal action v2 at that step and then the time property

    fwiw, the reason they make you do that step again is bc it allows you to be modeling one metric while selecting the aggregate property tied to a different event property. It is a bit confusing but once you have done it, it becomes more natural.
